My Other Sweatshirt designed by Tonia Barry Sandpiper Sandpiper is the perfect weight for a cotton yarn: not so bulky as to be heavy and not too lightweight as to take forever to knit. The most interesting aspect of Sandpiper is its color 5 shades are space-dyed in each strand, in short bursts of color, then 8 strands are plied together. Highlights and shadows occur organically as the colors in each of the 8 plies interact. From a distance, Sandpiper looks solid colored but up close the 5 hues dance and mingle, adding depth and interest. Skill Level Intermediate Sizes XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL). Shown in size S.
